i don't know how to, idk if livesplit is the best way or just editing in a timer, or does mod time. i dunno

personally, if i may say, this run will never be beaten

this is best category what you talking about

Damn

personal say, hahhah42's run is very well beatable, it just hasn't been done yet. the run isn't to the point where the instant tp is holding me or any other runners from getting a better time, so if it is kept in or patched out it really doesn't matter to me. the only thing I do ask though is to keep the option to use shift to enter worlds instead of having to hold down S or down arrow.

I have a few ideas for this, but only suggestions (and a bit of speculation which you can point out if it is invalid or wrong),

If we do use RTA runs for times, IGT and RTA should be in separate categories and here is why I think that.

1. I have a new(ish) pc, coming in at around just over half a year old, and it is very well suited to run games that are much more demanding that WWW, so with that said it makes my RTA very close to my IGT. Which is, roughly 3 seconds while hahhah42's RTA has about an 6 second discrepancy.
2. RTA runs on a timer set within your computer, not set on the speed of the game. Therefore the slower the computer the slower the timer, making the faster computer have a (in this case) big advantage from the start.
3. Looking at our runs, (in which hahhah42 does have a significantly better time than me) I see that even as early as 1-1 (while collecting 1st and 2nd leaves), and slightly less optimal movement, my RTA is still ~0.3 seconds faster. As where the IGT is accounting for how fast the game is running, and therefore putting the person running the game better in the advantage.
4. My last real point I want to make is that the advantage given to the runners with slower computers is a good advantage. But, I would rather them have the advantage of playing the game at a slower pace and performing better than a runner with a faster computer getting a flat few second advantage over the other runners. While runs may be easier for hahhah42 if he is running the game slower, there is a way of working around it, while I have the advantage of just pulling 3 seconds out of my pocket and there isn't a work around for that. IGT measures how fast you are running the game, and RTA measures the time it takes in real time to finish the game, which is inconsistent across all PCs while IGT is the same.

While I am leaning towards IGT, and all being said, the better runner is leaning towards RTA. Either way, or rather either means of timing the game, I am accepting of and will respect the decision. I will continue to run the game, if I have the advantage or disadvantage, and please, inform me if any of the points I made are invalid as I am not the most amazing when it comes to all this wacky technology bs.

I agree that RTA would be better than IGT but I still have my problems with RTA, for example my RTA was lower than yours but your IGT was lower than mine. also the difference between my RTA and IGT was only 4 seconds while yours was double that at 8 seconds. so does the speed of the computer affect the performance if we use RTA? because if it does then it will give people advantages over others due to the performance of the computer being used. I might be wrong, and if so please let me know how this thing works, its just my theory.

ur execution is so good :))), you dont even use the most optimal route for levels and still get them done sometimes faster than me. I am really looking forward to see how low we can push this :)
